The magic of still photography
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 07/30/2009 07:33 am by karenI videorecorded mayurasana this morning. The beauty part is that I can capture stills from when I was actually airborne. Less beautiful is my framing — you’ll note I cut off my head. Still, if you add it all up, I spent about 4 or 5 discontinuous seconds aloft. Which means that if I don’t have to do my five breaths aloft sequentially, and if it’s okay to be holding on to the pose by the skin of my teeth, dangerously close to bumping my head on the floor, well then, I think I have this nailed. 
Kidding, obviously. Need to get my head up; need to get my feet up. I haven’t been so amused by a pose for a long time. I’ve been scared by some poses lately, sure — but this one is just pure fun.
